Looks as though the January 20, 2024 update to the 2024 project list now contains Pleasant Mountain 4CLD “hand-me-down” from Sunday River former Barker. I do not see a formal announcement at PleasantMountain Resort or Boyne corporate websites. Is this project now Boyne confirmed and funded? And if so, will the work be done by Boyne or perhaps Dopplemeyer?
Most recent email pertaining to the multi-week https://liftblog.com/summit-express-shawnee-peak-me/ Summit Triple outage:
“Summit Lift returns to full capacity
Hi David,
We are pleased to share that we will be running the Summit Chairlift at full capacity starting, Saturday, January 20.
We will no longer be running the shuttle to the East Lodge. However, we will continue to run the Sunnyside Triple Friday to Monday for the remainder of the season (weather permitting).
We are so thankful for everyone’s patience and understanding as our team has worked diligently on this lift issue.
Hope to see you on the hill
Sincerely
Ralph Lewis / General Manager”

I stand corrected – thanks “Skier”
See “The former Jordan high speed quad is now being stored near Boyne’s Pleasant Mountain ski area, possibly for a 2024-25 installation.”

Is double runner at sugarloaf, ME getting replaced this year

I hope it does soon. It’s pretty old and slow, and they could throw in a high speed quad to the top of west with a midstation where the easy unload is.

Is Deer Valley’s bubble 6 still on track?
Will it be open to the public next season? What is the alignment?

I’ve been told 3-5 Expanded Excellence lifts will be built this summer and the rest next summer. They aren’t promising any early openings before 25-26 but it would not surprise me. The Hyatt opens December ’24 and those guests would probably appreciate not having to take a bus.

Hope this happens!

I believe the Mighty Argo Cable Car is a go. Every time I drive through Idaho Springs, I see a cut alignment scaling the hill. There is a black trailer at the base of the cut, and maybe even some parts in the trees behind?

Hopefully. The cut has been there for a couple years now.

Will the new Seattle Ridge lift be the only UNI-G with direct drive? Feel like thats uncommon.

I don’t think Doppelmayr offers Direct Drives on UNI-G models.

There’s actually a direct drive gondola in South Korea that uses UNI-G terminals.

Well thats what Peter has it listed as.

Thredbo ski resort in Australia has a UNI-G called Merritt’s Gondola and it has a direct drive, the top drive station has a UNI-G enclosure over the direct drive while the mid and lower stations look similar to the Park City Quicksilver Gondola mid, so if that’s possible then there’s a very good chance Seattle Ridge 6 could have one too.

Southern California. 2 hours East of LA. There are three separate mountains that are all owned by Alterra: Bear Mountain, Snow summit and Snow Valley. They are all medium sized ski resorts, each having at least 1 detachable. The plan is for Bear mountain and snow summit to expand into each other creating 1 big ski resort.

On the northern flank of the San Bernardino Range, one of SoCal’s Transverse Ranges. Just north of San Gorgonio, which, according to Summit Post, a somewhat informed compendium of things mountainous, is at about eleven and a half grand, and is the tallest peak in all of the Transverse Ranges. It’s about 45ish miles (30ish for Snow Valley) from San Bernardino proper, on a windy af road over which LA tourists famously fail at driving.

Lakeridge Ontario is replacing the Center lift, not the East lift in 2024. In addition, Mount St. Louis Moonstone is in Ontario, not Quebec.
